Starting from 2800 yuan, reaching 37,000 in two weeks—many people after hearing this story, their first reaction is "Small positions have no hope." This argument is no match in real trading.
The key is not account size, but rhythm control.
I've seen too many beginners enter the market with a mindset of "Just playing around," only to lose faster than anyone else. What they do is not trading at all, but handing their money over to random fluctuations. That young guy started the same way—chasing hot topics, randomly taking orders, almost getting liquidated by the market.
Later, I told him to stick to three ironclad rules.
**Rule 1: Capital pressure, profit rolling.** Start with 2800, try and error, keep the earned money separate, never expect a single trade to turn everything around. This gives room for mistakes and preserves the principal for review.
**Rule 2: Shut up if the direction is unclear.** Follow the trend to push, retreat against it, don’t hold onto losing positions, don’t gamble on the market, don’t fight volatility. If your judgment is biased, exit immediately—this isn’t surrender, it’s survival.
**Rule 3: Rhythm is everything.** Saving your life in the early stage is most important, mid-term you must let profits run, and in the late stage, decisively lock in gains. Too many people fail because they lose their composure during pullbacks.
It sounds simple, but few truly do it. Losers never lose because of strategy, but because of emotions and slips. There are many cases like this in the $DOT market.
Execution is the real dividing line. With the same 3000 yuan capital, some trade carelessly, others follow the rhythm strictly—results are worlds apart. Small accounts can’t turn around? That’s because you haven’t fully grasped the methodology.

That's right, this round is indeed a game of mentality, not about how much money you have. I previously all-in stopped out during the pullback due to a slip, and watched the rebound happen right in front of me.
Execution is truly the dividing line; knowing it without practicing is pointless.

No matter how eloquently you put it, it’s useless. The key is discipline; most people fall victim to greed and slip-ups.

To be honest, I'm really tired of these "small account doubling" stories. Someone always uses them as a guide, only to get liquidated as soon as they start. However, this guy's point about rhythm control really hits home—I’ve seen too many people lose because they can't stop themselves, even when they should shut up and stop trading. Those three ironclad rules sound simple, but execution is what truly makes the difference.

lmao timing > capital size, that's literally just risk management with extra steps. but yeah 99% of people can't execute bc they're emotionally trading instead of following the algorithm 🤷
